The City of Greater Bendigo will commence installation of a new practice half court this week to cater to soccer, basketball and netball at Axedale Park.
The project will include installation of:
- An acrylic coated concrete half court
- Combined basketball and soccer unit
- Netball goal pole
- Partial perimeter fencing
- Bench seating
- Line marking
City of Greater Bendigo Presentation and Assets Director, Brian Westley said the new half court is an investment in Axedale that will add to the many other features in Axedale Park which is located at corner of Mitchell Street and McIvor Highway.
"Axedale Park is a suburban level play space with barbecue and picnic facilities, public toilets, a junior skate park and play equipment," Mr Westley said.
"Half courts are really popular and when completed we expect it will be quite a draw card for Axedale Park."
The $100,000 project is being funded with a $50,000 grant from the Tiny Towns Fund and $50,000 from the City of Greater Bendigo
The Tiny Towns Fund is a Victorian Government initiative, administered by Regional Development Victoria, to support small communities with populations under 5,000 people.
Work to install the half court is expected to be completed before the end of 2025.
